Hi!

Due to a move to a new flat and other reasons, I wasn't able to
do daily merges from Linus's tree into our vax-linux tree.
My time situation has improved and I want to merge all the new
and shiny stuff, but it seems a straight "git pull" isn't the
best way to do that.

What I'd actually love to do is to go through all commits since the
last merge and pull/accept/cherry-pick then one by one.  That way I'll
learn about new stuff. I'll specifically see generic changes that
imply arch-specific stuff, things I'll need to implement later on.

Is there any sane way to cluse such a large gap?  I don't mind looking
through tenthousands of commits, as long as I get a chance to spot
"important" ones.

Thanks, JBG
